Humbled to be one of 50 startups to receive $100K in non-dilutive capital as a part of the @GoogleStartups Black Founders Fund in the U.S. Huge congrats to @Mixtroz and @AccGenetics as well! #FundBlackFounders

Telehealth can be busy and still lose money if you only track aggregate revenue. List visit types, rank by volume, pick top 3 and estimate collected revenue per visit vs true cost (clinician time + ops). Then prioritize visits with real margin.

Telehealth contracts age while ops roar. Run a 5-payer rate check: for your top 5 payers and most common telehealth CPT, pull current reimbursements and compare them to a regional benchmark. Prioritize by rate, benchmark gap and encounter volume.

Revenue leak in remote care: coding every visit conservatively. Audit 10 similar charts, have the team code as usual, then recode against documentation (MDM/time/reqs) and compare allowed revenue. You’ll find gaps and clearer guidance.

Telehealth can be busy and still unmanageable. Give leaders a one-page monthly dashboard with three numbers: telehealth show rate; revenue per completed visit; telehealth no-show gap vs in-person. Review monthly; cadence beats complexity.

Telehealth feels disorganized when clinicians open visits differently. Skip long SOPs: have 3 providers write their opening, combine best bits into a 60s script (intro, ID & location, quick tech backup, what to expect), try it once and iterate.

Lower-reimbursed telehealth isn't automatically lower-margin. Try it on a visit offered both ways: compare revenue minus true delivery costs (room/front-desk/cleaning/supplies vs platform/scheduling/tech). Decide by clinical need + net margin.

Don't assume every visit should be virtual. Pull a quarter of telehealth visits, group by CPT, and compare each code to in-person on revenue/visit, reimbursement, no-shows and staff time. Promote CPTs that work virtually; clinical fit matters.

Clinics know CCM drives recurring revenue. Fewer track how much qualifying CCM work staff already do. Time-track 10 chronic patients for 2 weeks (MA/nurse logging minutes), then compare monthly totals to CCM billing thresholds. What would you find?

A vendor roadmap can impress and still warn. Ask for 30 minutes with product (not just sales). Bring a messy workflow. Ask how customer feedback becomes product decisions and who prioritizes it. Roadmaps become nurse time—will they still listen?

Promoting clinicians into management without training burns out remote care. Give new supervisors a protected hour to bring a staffing issue and practice: observed vs expected; what employee needs; follow-up. Which management skill would help most?

Schedulers deciding virtual vs in-person case-by-case means clinical policy is being made at the front desk. Start with one high-volume visit (e.g., med check). Clinicians set a default (virtual-first/always/never); schedulers follow. Exceptions OK

Remote care visits take longer than you think. Minutes disappear in prep, connections, device/data review, documentation and follow-up. Shadow five end-to-end encounters with a stopwatch, log each step, then test one change on the biggest drain.

Don't let Medicaid telehealth policy changes show up as denied claims. Set a Google Alert for 'Medicaid telehealth policy' + your state. Monthly: 10min scan - forward items affecting coverage, providers, modifiers, POS or documentation to billing.

Most telehealth failures are ownership failures. Name one existing leader as telehealth owner. Give them a protected 30m weekly slot to review metrics, unresolved ops issues, and upcoming changes. Their job: assign owners, next actions, and review dates.

Remote care can look busy and still leak patients. Audit a 6-month cohort: calculate % with a follow-up within 90 days, then call five who didn't return. You'll find access, service, cost or clinical-value problems, not a dashboard fix.

Telehealth can be clinically useful and popular yet still lose money per visit. Don’t assume volume = profit. For your top 3 virtual visit types estimate revenue collected, clinician time, support time and tech costs, then compare margins and act.

Evaluating remote care vendors? Ask to speak with 3 practices the vendor didn't pick - including one that struggled or left. You'll learn real ops: enrollment time, nurse hours, workflow changes, billing pain, and vendor transparency.

Virtual care problems are usually workflow, not tech. Try a 20-sec fix: give clinicians one consistent, non-clinical opening question (eg "How's everyone at home?"). Ask the next five patients if it felt personal and adjust. Small ops build trust.

To learn a vendor's support, see what happens when it fails in clinic. In remote care it impacts patients & staff. Teams favor features over support. Before signing ask: response time, phone support, urgent escalation, SLAs. What's non-negotiable?

Ambiguity, not tech, drives burnout in remote care. Fix: pick a role and set 3 observable outcomes: alerts contacted in timeframe; docs that support follow-up/billing; outreach if patients stop transmitting. Clear expectations = better coaching
